Top Tips for Hiring a Luxury Car in San Diego

  • Several airports service the Greater San Diego area. This includes the Ontario Airport (ONT), Santa Ana J. Wayne/Orange County Airport (SNA), San Diego International Airport (SAN), Palm Springs Airport (PSP), and Imperial County Airport (IPL). The airport in Palm Springs has offices for Alamo, Hertz, Dollar, Budget, Avis, Thrifty, Ace, and Enterprise. If you land at San Diego International Airport, you can rent a San Diego luxury car from numerous car rental agencies, including Enterprise, SIXT, Hertz, Thrifty, and Dollar. At the Ontario Airport, several car rental agencies have offices, including Alamo, Avis, Payless, Enterprise and more. Agencies with offices at the Santa Ana Airport include Avis, Budget, Thrifty, Enterprise, Hertz, and more. At the Imperial County Airport, you can also rent a luxury car from Budget, Avis, Hertz, Enterprise, Easirent, or Firefly.
  • You can still ride in luxury when you have a large family or group with you. How about renting a luxury SUV? The Audi Q7, the Cadillac Escalade, and the Lincoln Navigator can fit up to seven passengers. You can rent a luxury SUV at National (SAN), Enterprise (SAN), and Enterprise (Balboa Avenue). A Land Rover or a Lexus RX is ideal if you prefer a smaller but luxurious SUV. You'll find this type of San Diego luxury car rental at Budget (SAN), Enterprise (SAN) or Avis (SAN).
  • Although San Diego has several public transportation options, including buses, trolleys, and trains, they will only get you to the main attractions in the Greater San Diego area. For example, with a rental car, you can drive to Dana Point (about an hour away) and catch the ferry to beautiful Catalina Island. If you want to visit the nearby town of Chula Vista via public transportation, you'll have to change buses, which can be confusing and inconvenient. In a rental car, you can drive directly to Chula Vista for outdoor fun like kayaking, or tour the US Olympic Training Center. Public transportation in San Diego stops running at about midnight. You can also enjoy dancing at several nightclubs if you have a San Diego Luxury Car Rental.
  • Go green on your next trip to San Diego when you rent an electric vehicle. Several car rental agencies have fully electric vehicles for rent. This includes Budget (SAN) and Avis (SAN). You can choose from Tesla models such as the Tesla Model 3 and the Tesla Model Y. San Diego has charging stations all around the city, and a few of them are free.

Liked: Clorox wipe - great touch. Friendly staff After hours drop off Convenient (for us) pick up / drop off locations Could be better: Cost - we only needed the car for a few hours but had to rent it for the entire day. I get it, but would be nice to have a 1/2 day option. 😊

The drop off was complicated moving the charges to another credit card despite our telling them our intentions before we took the car and as we dropped it off. It required a manager and quite a bit of time. Fortunately, we didn’t miss our flight but it was close despite the extra time we allocated and TSA-Pre.

I booked based on convenience of pickup and drop off locations. The gentlemen working in these locations were very disinterested in spending any more time than necessary in dealing with me, especially in the San Diego location. I will note here that I was the ONLY customer in these offices when I was there. I was not informed that there was a deposit hold of $200 placed on my credit card, which led to me spending a chunk of time on the phone trying to find out why this charge was on my card. Also, the car I was given was dirty inside and out. NOT my best car rental experience.

There was no rental available! Kayak - and every third party rental system - LIES! The most affordable car was not available until 1pm. It was 9am. Budget's only available rental vehicle was an extra $100. So I cancelled. I returned to computer to find a vehicle available near downtown San Diego and ..... The Budget location I was at came up again on Kayak! Kayak said a vehicle was available to rent at that moment. The Budget staff member running that office verified it was not correct, and there is still no vehicle. And I purchased the third party insurance via the Kayak website. Though I cancelled the car reservation because no car was available.... I did not receive a refund for the insurance.

The wait time for pickup was very long. The Budget employee that I worked with was pushy with selling their insurance to the point of giving misinformation. The car windows were dirty from inside and I eventually had to spend time cleaning them thoroughly because it was otherwise very difficult to see through them.

The car was clean, comfortable. But when I booked, I paid 85$ as quoted and when I got to the counter to pick up the car, I was charged another 200$ that would cover 150$ as a "return fee" that was not disclosed anywhere because I was picking the car up at San Diego and returning it in Phoenix. I don't mind paying a fee as long as it is disclosed ahead of time and I can fully make the decision to rent or not, by comparing with other services. The counter representative only explained that it would be refunded once the car was returned. I returned it the same it was rented, (Sat 5 of sept) and the money has not been refunded (as of 9/9 9:29am). Maybe I have to wait a little longer to get the refund but there was a lack of clarity from the representative to explain where in the contract that I was to sign, it stated that it was going to be refunded. I asked how I could be assured that the money was going to be refunded and the only response was that it would. The one thing I will praise was the car attendant that received the car in Sky harbor airport in Phoenix, I did not get his name but he was very helpful, and guided me out of the rental area at 11pm. Very kind of him. For safety, I will write to Fox to let them know that as I was braking in the winding downhill road towards Phoenix, the car wheel was trembling and I had to descend at less than 50mph to be able to keep the car stable, probably an issue with tire balance. Crossing my fingers I get the refund, but this should not be the case.

My flight was delayed and when I arrived, they could not find my reservation. They offered to rent me a car for the same period of time for $360 while my reservation was only $115. I refused the offer and went to costco.com to book a car to pick up 20 min after that for $156 with Budget. Never again with this company.

They didn’t have the vehicle we booked. We went to the first lot at the airport but realized we had to take a cab to a different hertz dealer. Then they didn’t have the correct vehicle. They were going to send us to a third hertz, but we ended up settling for a different vehicle.

My rental was not at the expected location. When I searched in Kayak, I searched for car rentals near the San Diego airport. Apparently there is a small municipal airport near the border with Tijuana and there is a Hertz car rental location there which came up in my search. Since I would not have expected this type of option to come up in my search parameters, I did not think there was a need to check the address of the rental location. A mistake I will never make again. However, I also will never be using Kayak or Hertz again. I will not be using Hertz mainly because the person at the rental counter in the actual San Diego airport location was not willing to help me other than to indicate that I was at the wrong location and that I should go to that other location if I would like my rental car.

I put in San Diego Airport and it listed this place half an hour away, at a different little airport right next to the border. They were unprofessional and the agent was apathetic. Our flight was delayed a few hours and she said our reservation was cancelled because they only keep it for an hour after the pickup time you put on the reservation. I have never heard of that before anywhere else! So, they charged me about $70 more than the reservation I had set up!

When I landed, I called to pick up the rental car and was just told they had no cars left and that I needed to contact corporate to get a refund. The agent was very blunt and didn’t offer any real apology. I was left stranded with a 7 month old baby. We ended up having to pay $50 for a taxi to my hotel and the next morning got a rental car from enterprise costing us $280. My original reservation was meant to be $140 For the entire week. I will not risk booking a car again through Economy. I am now having to work with another agent from corporate for a refund and it has just been so much more work.

There was little to no information on how I should find Economy. When I called, the man tells me that 'you know that we don't have your car' and it would take an hour to get my car. How would I know? But if you don't have my car, then I'll take another car from the lot. So I travel to the lot after an Uber takes us to their lot. He meant to say 'we have no cars right now, no idea when we'll get any cars, you may be 2nd on the waitlist, so if any cars do become available, they will be distributed first come - first serve, and I'll be happy to give you your money back now so you can find a rental car for the weekend' instead.

Charged fees for little thing (which were either not explained or hidden until after drop-off) and were not honest about the drop-off process. I was told I could drop the car off without issue after hours (flight at 10PM on Sunday, 7/28), however, they don't have after hours drop-off at their lot and I almost missed my flight due to not having any idea where to return the car.

It was a few dollars cheaper but I paid dearly for it. The rental was booked for pick up at 6 AM. Arrived to find the office doesn’t open til 7 AM. During the 3 day rental the hubcap fell off. Discovered it was barely attached and previously broken. Spent several hours of my vacation repairing the hubcap with epoxy and then was worried it would fall off again and I would have to pay some exorbitant amount for the repair. Learned a lesson for sure never to use Payless again.

Absolutely nothing I’m very unhappy with this rental

Cons:

When I arrived to pick up my vehicle there was one employee working the desk, with quite a long line to even talk to a worker. Once I got inside the employee asked for my ID and credit card. I was then told the car I requested had not been available for about a year. He then tried to offer me a SUV priced at $412 compared to the $249 I was quoted. I had to leave the building to consult with my party only to have to wait about another 20 mins outside . Once I get to the counter for the second time the clerk then informed me of the under 25 clause and then it was going to be another $114 on top of the $412. I believe this to be highly unprofessional and requested a refund for the insurance. The employee said he could do that. I then called Priceline who I did my insurance through and was laughed at and hung up on. I called back and was told that I could expect a refund in 3-7 business days for the $88 I paid for for the insurance due to the car not being available. It’s been 7 days however and I still have not received the $88. This rental was felt with extremely unprofessionally. I’m highly disappointed.

I probably didn't read the correspondence carefully. My drivers license wasn't sufficient ID and they required a second form of ID. If I hadn't had one on me I would have had to go to another counter to rent. You should make that requirement in BOLD print so I can't skim past it.

The response was “guy leaves 6:00 pm on the dot” Really? Worst place to book from. Never book your car here unless you want to take the risk of not having a car to drive when you get there.

I still had hair and other stuff from previous owner, yet get dinged with 400 dollar cleaning fee. Also the dollar employees especially Marie will lie into your face, even ignores multiple insurance declines and keeps asking as if she wants to jinx your rental.. i was extra careful nothing happened, still having her lie about gas prices and them without consent adding a random cleaning fee just showes how desperate dollar has gotten these days

Did the “time saving” pre check in to avoid lines the day of and we still waited over an hour to even see an employee much less be given our vehicle. First one had something wrong with the engine that forced us to drive it back and return it the same day. Adding more time and headache to this experience.

Pickup at SAN was a nightmare. Dollar gave me online checkin and it still took about 57 minutes to get my car and exit the rental area. They were understaffed, ignorant of the process, and inefficient.

My experience was absolutely horrible. I showed up at Thrifty to pick up my rental car that I had already paid for in full. They advised me that they were out of rental cars for the night and to try someplace else. I told them I already paid for it and they told me "too bad". I was left scrambling and had to use Budget renal service and pay almost 4x the price on top of what I already paid. I've been trying to get ahold of someone to help but they keep pointing me in different directions.

I booked it for $34, when I got to the store they told me it’s gonna be $175, I told them that I’m gonna go with a different company then the representative told me they will only charge me $78. I agreed to $78, which is twice as much but I booked a car for, when I came to drop it off it was $115. It’s a horrible company I will never rent from them again.

It was a pretty terrible experience. When we arrived, we were told to wait outside. I have no idea why, the inside of the building had plenty of room for several more parties. After 30 min, we were brought inside. Meanwhile a long line of customers was accumulating outside. We had reserved a mid-size vehicle, but when we arrived we were told that they don't have mid-size vehicles and that we would be getting a compact. And then they told us that they didn't have any compact vehicles for another 2 hours. We were told that we hadn't pre-paid, which is weird because I was charged by Expedia. They tried to upsell us on a full-size vehicle another $15. For that price, I could have gotten something on-site at the airport. I declined and took and Uber to my destination instead and rented a car through Turo the next day. I had a great experience with my Turo rental. I contacted Expedia and they processed my refund. Expedia tired to call the rental agency to confirm the situation, but they couldn't get a hold of them. I assume because they were too busy disappointing more customers.

The vehicle was nice; however, the pick-up was the worst experience I have ever had. The shuttle did not come and pick me up from the airport and I had to Uber to their facility to get my rental.

When I booked this rental, the description showed the rental center was off-site as were all the other major rentals, Avis, Budget, Dollar, etc. What WASN’T revealed until our plane landed was that a 2nd shuttle from the rental center was required. That shuttle dropped us at an office located through a garage into a grimy building with all vacant offices except the U-Save rental office. After completing the paperwork (which included a statement that there would be no price adjustments if the vehicle was returned early- which we did after experiencing the multi- shuttle issue), we had to walk down a hill to a parking garage to get the car. The vehicle itself, a Toyota Corolla, (these are now “standard”, not “compact”) was a brand new hybrid and worked well except for the 1 trip we took with all 5 of our party - a bit cramped. When we decided to return the car early to avoid the dual shuttle situation on our departure day, we were directed to wait in the dark, grimy garage for the shuttle to return. 5 other folks arrived with their luggage also. After waiting around 10 minutes, we decided to Uber back to the hotel. We trudged the 1/2 block up the hill from the garage (we’re 72 and 83 years old) , where the shuttle would have been also, and got an Uber with no problem. The Uber pulled up at the same time as the shuttle - which was a 7 passenger mini-van - it would’ve been a tight squeeze. Bottom line - decent car but not worth the aggravation. Spend a few more dollars for a name brand company. I wish we had.

Cons:

Booked a van pickup 5pm and drop off at same time 2 days later. The day off, 3 hours before pickup, I get a phone call from the location telling me I need to pickup an hour early because they decide to close at 4 “today”. Of fine. “Oh and also you need to drop off before 10am in 2 days because we will be closed at 10am”. “Or you can pay an extra $60 for late drop off”. What?? Late drop off would mean I extend pass my 24h, which I’m not!! If you decide to close early how does that become my problem?? Very disappointing.

Cons:

Booked a van for 2 days w/ 150 mile per day. Arrived at location to be told that policies “of this specific branch” have changed and are now 150 “per rental” (!!!??) Long story short it’s obvious Non sense. Worker at location didn’t show any compassion and on the phone corporate couldn’t do anything because “we are reservation center and customer center only works week days”. Customer service non existent, bummer for loyal and respectful customers like us but I guess that’s the way it goes now.
